The bestselling author of Good Girls Die First,

It's Behind You and Tag, You're Dead is back

with an entertaining, high-octane and read-in-a-single-sitting

new thriller.

Walking disaster Saffron and her perfectionist twin sister Georgia

have only one thing in common-they are both obsessed with battle

royale video game Sole Survivor.

While working at a brand new, high tech escape room complex, Saffron

poses a question to the resident AI: which high school stereotype

would survive the longest in a real life version of Sole

Survivor? She is convinced a rebel like her would beat a know-it-all

like Georgia.

Unbeknown to her, the AI decides to determine the answer to her question

by testing it out for real. It invites Saffron and Georgia's

gamer friends to a preview of the escape rooms, but then it locks

the doors and turns the rooms into a life-or-death battle to

be the last player standing.

The rebel, the know-it-all, the princess, the jock, the geek,

the weirdo, the star, the artist and the criminal. Just like in

Sole Survivor, only one can survive the night...

It's Cabin in the Woods meets Squid Game

Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Karen McManus.

Knife-edge tension and twists you won't see coming.
